97. Since Thy Father's Arm Sustains Thee

1 Since thy Father’s arm sustains thee,
Peaceful be, peaceful be;
When a chastening hand restrains thee,
It is He, it is He.
Know His love in full completeness
Fills the measure of thy weakness,
If He wound thy spirit sore,
Trust Him more, trust Him more.

2 Fearest sometimes that Thy Father
Hath forgot? hath forgot?
When the clouds around thee gather,
Doubt Him not, doubt Him not;
Always hath the daylight broken,
Always hath he comfort spoken,
Better hath He been for years,
Than thy fears; than thy fears.

3 Without murmur, uncomplaining,
Follow on, follow on,
Saying, “Whatsoe’er God doth
Is well done; is well done.”
Bear today thy cross of sorrow,
Wear thy crown of life tomorrow,
Sing, while calmly trusting still,
“‘Tis His will! ‘tis His will!”

4 To His own the Savior giveth
Daily strength; daily strength;
To each troubled soul that liveth,
Peace at length; peace at length.
Therefore, whatsoe’er betideth,
Know His love for thee provideth:
Do not question, “Why?” or “How?”
Only bow, only bow.
